Abstract: The global pandemic is bringing all the issues that torment the modern world to boiling-point: inequality, job scarcity, ecological transformation, mass migration, artificial intelligence and the uncontrolled development of public goods and culture 5. This paper advances the simple idea that all policies must be driven by the notion of 'putting people first'. And, who benefits and who loses from state actions has to become an essential part of societal dialogue and policy-making. The emergency of COVID-19 has forced the state into a commanding economic position.
